DearAll,
**I have a trouble to use "**pair_style hybrid/overlay“. There are 3 elements in my simulation box: Fe N C. I use the potential as follows:
pair_style hybrid/overlay meam tersoff tersoff meam
pair_coeff * * meam 1 library.meam Fe C FeC.meam Fe NULL C # Fe-Fe, Fe-C
pair_coeff * * tersoff 1 SiC.tersoff NULL NULL C # C-C
pair_coeff * * tersoff 2 BNC.tersoff NULL N C # N-N N-C
pair_coeff * * meam 2 library.meam Fe N FeN.meam Fe N NULL # Fe-N
To use meam potential for Fe-N, I add parameters in library.meam as follows:
‘N’ ‘fcc’ 12. 7 14.006
5.96 2.75 4.0 4.0 4.0 5.00 4.88 1.80
1.0 0.05 1.00 0.0 1.0 0
But there is an ERROR: MEAM library error 2 (…/pair_meam.cpp:726), and the detailsare as follows:
pair_style hybrid/overlay meam tersoff tersoff meam
pair_coeff * * meam 1 library.meam Fe C FeC.meam Fe NULL C
pair_coeff * * tersoff 1 SiC.tersoff NULL NULL C
pair_coeff * * tersoff 2 BNC.tersoff NULL N C
pair_coeff * * meam 2 library.meam Fe N FeN.meam Fe N NULL
ERROR: MEAM library error 2 (…/pair_meam.cpp:726)
I don’t know how to resolve this problem. Could you please tell me how to do?

there are multiple problems here:
1) the meam pair style doesn't support being used in a hybrid pair
style more than once.
2) you don't seem to understand the mapping of interactions: if your
input would work,
it would:
a) compute Fe-Fe, Fe-C, C-C and all further permutations for Fe and
C with MEAM once
b) compute all C-C interactions with tersoff once using the SiC
parameters in addition to that
c) compute all N-N, C-C, N-C, and further triples of C and N with
tersoff using the BNC parameters
d) compute all Fe-Fe, Fe-N, N-N and other multiples of Fe and N with
MEAM again
that means for pairwise all Fe-Fe interactions are computed twice, C-C
computed thrice and also plenty manybody terms multiple times and
inconsistently so.
in other words. this run would produce the simulation equivalent of a
large pile of bovine manure.
